First Period After Birth...

Emsy26 · Jun 2nd, 2009, 14:36 PM

Is it heavy or light?

For 2 days I've had really watery blood on my pad, had to put the pad on as it was leaking through underwear...
Could it be period, I'll be 6 wks PP on Friday xx

I recon I have my 1st

since having baby...so 6 weeks PP.

I am sooo crampy and sore but not too much bleeding yet...enough to need and change the pad regularly but not soaking through every hour as I have read. Might all change though for me.

I just got my first one on Monday..
and it's brutal.
Monday wasn't bad.. yesterday was heavier.. and today is BRUTAL.
I got Super Plus tampons, and I was going through them in like an hour and a half... so I got ULTRA tampons, same darn thing!
It's ridiculous!!!

Mine was heavier than normal approx 10 weeks after birth and during the first week of taking the mini-pill - so I think that brought it on. Lasted about 5-6 days where normally my periods only used to last 3 maximum!.
